California Institute of Technology: STEM Academic Boot Camp

Wondering if college is for you? Already in college and looking to level up? Thinking about returning to school after some time away?
No matter where you’re starting, Warrior-Scholar Project will help you take the next step with confidence.
Start the process to join our free STEM academic boot camp for enlisted service members and veterans, hosted in partnership with the California Institute of Technology!
This intensive, weeklong program uses a physics-based curriculum to prepare you for the rigor, pace, and problem-solving demands of a STEM bachelor’s degree. You’ll learn directly from world-class faculty at the California Institute of Technology and be supported by WSP fellows—student veteran alumni who are already crushing it in college and know what it takes to thrive in the classroom.
Throughout the week, you’ll conduct a research project, attend lectures, participate in science talks, and take part in hands-on lab tours. You’ll tackle challenging problem sets and collaborative projects that help you build the analytical mindset and confidence needed to thrive in STEM. And don’t worry—you’ll have support every step of the way from research project leaders, faculty, and our highly trained STEM fellows.
In addition, you’ll take part in our College Success Series, where WSP fellows lead candid conversations about the academic and social challenges student veterans often face—and share strategies to overcome them.
Eligibility:
If you are a U.S. enlisted service member or veteran without a bachelor’s degree, you’re eligible to apply. If you have questions about your eligibility, please reach out to our admissions team.
Expressing interest does not guarantee placement in a specific boot camp curriculum or location.
